  <desc>groups elements used for arbitrary segmentation.</desc>
  <classes>
    <memberOf key="model.phrase"/>
  </classes>
  <remarks>
    <p>The principles on which segmentation is carried out, and
any special codes or attribute values used, should be defined explicitly
in the<gi>segmentation</gi> element of the <gi>encodingDesc</gi> within
the associated TEI header.</p>
